随着全球化进程不断推进，医疗水平不断进步，科研成果交流日益频繁，科技翻译的作用与价值也不断提升。然而，由于科技文本中专业词汇众多、句式结构复杂，需要译者在翻译过程中借助翻译理论，采取不同的翻译策略，以得到准确、可读的译文。

模因论是一种基于达尔文进化论的观点解释文化进化规律的新理论，切斯特曼在《翻译模因论：翻译思想的传播》一书中首次将模因论引入翻译领域。翻译模因论认为翻译就是模因传播的过程，作为模因综合体的源语文本，承载着源语作者的思想、理念和文化背景，译者是被模因感染的宿主，需要在翻译过程中选择最佳模因，提升翻译质量。

本报告所选翻译材料为Respiratory Rate Estimation Using U-Net-Based Cascaded Frame-work From Electrocardiogram and Seismocardiogram Signals，选自IEEE JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH INFORMATICS，发表于2022年6月，属于医疗科技领域文本。本报告以模因论的翻译规范及翻译策略为基础，结合科技文本的主要特点，在句法/语法层面、语义层面及语用层面，对词汇、短语、句子及段落的翻译进行举例分析，解决科技文本汉译问题。同时，译者希望，本报告能反映出模因论对科技文本翻译的指导意义，并在一定程度上对翻译模因论相关研究做出贡献。

With the continuous advancement of globalization, and improvement of medical treatment, the exchange of scientific research achievements is increasingly frequent, and the role and value of EST translation have also been improved. However, due to the large number of professional terms and complex sentence structures in EST texts, translators should adopt different translation strategies based on theories to obtain accurate and readable translations.

 

Memetics is a new theory that explains the laws of cultural evolution based on Darwin’s theory of evolution. Chesterman introduced memetics into the field of translation for the first time in his book Memes of Translation: The Spread of Ideas in Translation Theory. The theory of Translation Memetics holds that translation is the process of meme transmission. As a meme complex, the source text carries the thoughts, ideas and cultural background of the author. The translator is the host of meme infection and needs to select the best meme in the process of translation to improve the quality of translation.

 

The report selected Respiratory Rate Estimation Using U-Net-Based Cascaded Framework From Electrocardiogram and Seismocardiogram Signals as translation material from the IEEE JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH INFORMATION, which is published in JUNE 2022 and in the field of medical science and technology. The report is based on the translation norms and translation strategies of Translation Memetics, and combined with the major features of the kind of texts. The translator adopts syntactic/grammatical; semantic and pragmatic strategies to analyze vocabulary, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs with examples to solve the problem of translating scientific texts into Chinese. The translator hopes that the report can reflect the guidance of Translation Memetics for EST texts and to some extent, contribute to the research related to Translation Memetics.
